Hi!

That would only work as long as the

City, State|,|Zip


data to separate is all equal in length and the second comma is in the same
location in every cell. I'm assumming that the real data looks like this:

Columbus, Ohio, 44452
Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, 15010
Fresno, California, 95488

In which case T to C fixed will not work. Of course, you could use T to C
delimited by comma and end up with 3 columns.

Easiest way is to select/highlight all of your data in column A. Click on
Data/Text To Columns. Select Fixed Width. You will see a Data Preview
Screen w/vertical lines. These vertical lines will be column breaks. You
can drag them to right/left, remove them by doubleclicking on the line, or
put one in by a single click.

Put breaks in as follows

City, State|,|Zip

Now, after you click next, select the column with the comma in it, and
select the "Do not Import" option. Then click finish.




"Zip Codes" wrote:

I have about 900 cells and all of them appear in the following way
A
Town, State, 99999
Town1, State1, 11111

I need to have the zip code (99999 in the example) in one column, and
then
town and state in another column so it would look like this
A B
Town, State 99999
Town 1, State 1 11111

I've been experimenting with the RIGHT and LEFT formula-- =RIGHT (A1, 5)
which would give me the zip code. The problem is i can only do this for
individual cells so i would have to do A1, A2, A3 and so on. Is there a
way
to write a macro or formula to get all of the cells to transfer over
without
having to type A1 over and over?
